Chicago is poised to potentially host a Formula 1 race, with recent trademark filings suggesting the city could see the 'Chicago Grand Prix' as early as 2024. The trademark was originally filed in Belgium in 2023. The City of Chicago, which may receive an additional $2 million from NASCAR for hosting another Street Race this summer, is also in the preliminary stages of discussions with Formula 1. Ald. Brendan Reilly expressed concerns that the city might not be able to accommodate both F1 and NASCAR events, stating it would likely be one or the other. Meanwhile, Ald. Brian Hopkins revealed that Formula 1 generally seeks a minimum of a 10-year commitment for race locations, although talks with the city did not progress significantly.
